Realistically it would probably just shut down, but our donations are more than covering our expenses at the moment and the site is still growing. I don't have any concerns about not being able to pay the bills. The site only costs us about $200/mo to run so it's not a huge amount, but I'll admit it's only that low due to my donating a server worth around $40k (when it was new, although it'd be like $80k today thanks to ram prices).
Honestly, that sounds like a lot of work π I'm not keen on spending time writing up business growth docs and having meetings, my day job has enough of that for me. If someone else comes along and wants to join the org + help drive that then we'd probably be open to it, but we've all got busy lives and it's not a priority for us.
Nope. It's something we've discussed, but for now we're all on board with keeping things lightweight and not trying to turn this into wikipedia with regular fund raisers to pay salaries.
